Exploring Glasgow's Britannia music hall, later known as the Panopticon, this book examines its significance in the vibrant 19th-century entertainment scene. It highlights the diverse offerings of the venue, including music hall performances, early cinema, and various attractions like waxworks and freak shows. Additionally, it delves into the community-oriented, working-class music hall model that defined the Panopticon's later years, challenging traditional views of urban entertainment's centrality.
